Totes agree but I think the difference for me emotionally is that I view the reality of our country and reality in general as a surreal approximation of a real universe that everyone around us transforms into whatever universe they need in order to make it through the next day while ignoring what makes their lives inconvenient. I view your view of this universe as a dark inverse of this where you interpret everything around you in a way that allows you to feel all your hatred and bitterness. I don't know how I view this universe but it's probably closer to your view than most of the people around me. If there's a difference I think it's that I welcome the surreal nonsense reality even if I can't handle it just so that I can high five it while losing my mind.
